I recently bought a mint '96 zxi 1100 (stock). The trim doesn't seem to be working and I have no manuals (a service one is on order) The seller told me it was working when he winterized, but he is too far away to ask for help. I installed the battery and it fired right up- rpm, and speedo work, however trim gauge just shows nose of the craft strait up and the down/up trim switch does nothing. Should it work without the craft running? The battery is brand new and has tons of cranking power. I can't hear any sounds when I hit the switch. All the connections look and feel tight, and the wires look in great condition. When I try to move the trim by hand it doesnt want to move and I dont want to force it. What should I try? there are no local kawi dealers familiar with watercraft.
EDIT
Ok, I checked the fuses above the pump and fuse was good, checked it with the meter and it had power. I Patched the trim motor directly to the battery and it works both up and down. but I am not sure what wires to check to see if there is a short further in the line. Could I have a problem with the Kats system, or a short in the trim/kats switches?? there is a selenoid in the trim box, what does that do??
